Kelly A Thesis Submitted to the National University of Ireland, Galway in the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics September 2016 Supervisor: Prof. Michael Clarke ii Preface This work explores ancient views of cosmogony and the material structure of the universe in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. In particular it focuses on the way in which Ovid problematizes how we define myth and poetry versus science and philosophy. It examines how Ovid generates a parallel between the form and content of the text in order to depict a world where abstract scientific principles can become personified deities. This work will seek to reevaluate the impact of Greek Philosophy on Roman poetry through extending the series of intertexts which we may observe Ovid alluding to. Through following and analysing these sets of allusions this work will seek to gain an insight into Ovid’s depiction of the metatextual universe. iii iv For my Parents The scientist’s demand that nature shall be lawful is a demand for unity.

  • Alchemy and Exegesis from Antioch to Constantinople, 11Th Century By
    Matter Redeemed: Alchemy and Exegesis from Antioch to Constantinople, 11th century by Alexandre Mattos Roberts A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Maria Mavroudi, Chair Professor Susanna Elm Professor Asad Ahmed Professor Michael Cooperson Spring 2015 © 2015 by Alexandre M. Roberts Abstract Matter Redeemed: Alchemy and Exegesis from Antioch to Constantinople, 11th century by Alexandre Mattos Roberts Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Maria Mavroudi, Chair This dissertation examines how scholars in eleventh-century Constantinople and Antioch (un- der Byzantine rule, 969-1084) understood matter and its transformation. It argues that matter, a concept inherited from ancient philosophy, continued to be a fertile and malleable idea-complex endowed with cultural and religious meaning in medieval thought-worlds of the Eastern Mediter- ranean. The first three chapters form a case study on the unpublished Arabic translations oflatean- tique Christian texts by the 11th-century Byzantine Orthodox deacon ʿAbdallāh ibn al-Faḍl of An- tioch (fl. c.1052). They proceed by increasing specificity: chapter 1 surveys Ibn al-Faḍl’s Greek- to-Arabic translations; chapter 2 turns to one of these translations, of a famous and highly influ- ential commentary on the first chapter of the Book of Genesis by Basil of Caesarea (c.330–?379), his Homilies on the Hexaemeron; and chapter 3 reads Ibn al-Faḍl’s marginalia to his translation of Basil’s Hexaemeron. Together, they provide insight into a culturally Byzantine milieu in which the primary language of communication was Arabic, exploring how intellectuals in that context understood matter, where this understanding came from, and why it resonated in this cityatthe edge of the empire.

  • AG0288 • ISBN 1-58978-102-3 Delve Into These Pages to Uncover the Secrets of Vis, Magic Auras, and Even the Realm of Magic Itself!
    Of the four realms of power in Mythic Europe, Magic is at once the most familiar and the most alien. It’s the source of power wielded by Hermetic magi, but it cares nothing for human concerns. Elementals are the essence of the elements given form; what are emotions to them? Dragons are ancient beyond belief; why should they concern themselves with the affairs of men? Spirits are bound to the phenomena of the natural world, not to the creations of humanity. And even those humans transformed by Magic have their own strange ambitions, divorced from the petty desires of mortals. But despite this indifference, creatures and places of Magic are inexorably drawn into the lives of magi, as members of the Order of Hermes hunt for vis, familiars, covenant sites, and the mysteries of the Magic Realm. This book shows how to create creatures of Magic of all kinds, as player characters or antagonists. Extensive examples are included, from the Beasts of Virtue that exemplify animals to the spirits of emotions, from great fi re-breathing dragons to tiny fi re-breathing mice, and from elementals born of matter untouched by human hands to the walking corpses of the unquiet dead.

  • The Fallen Ones
    Extract from Cydonia The Secret Chronicles of Mars, David E. Flynn Chapter 4 The Fallen Ones But who shall dwell in these worlds if they be inhabited?... Arc we or they Lords of the World?... And how are all things made for man? Johannes Kepler, quoted in Robert Burton’s The Anatomy of Melancholy (1621) Ancient chroniclers of the Greeks recorded that a race of technologically advanced beings had incurred the anger of the gods, due to some transgression. The Telchines, from thelgo “to enchant”, were the first inhabitants of the island Telchinis, now called Rhodes (rosy or red), having come to the island from Crete. Ialysos [in Rhodes] where lived the vile Telkhines whose evil eyes had blighted everything, till Jove [Zeus], in loathing, sank them all beneath his brother’s [Poseidon’s waves. 1 The Telchines were the offspring of Poseidon & Thalatta (the Sea), populating the island named after their sister Rhode who was married to the Sun god, Helios. Rhode and Helios produced cousins of the Telchines, the Heliades—astrologers who used their knowledge of the stars to introduce new practices in navigation, and were the first to divide the day into hours: the Telchines themselves were said to be wizards who inhabited Rhodes before the arrival of the Pelasgians. The cyclopean ruins on Rhodes are evidence of occupation by the Pelasgians, that is, the ancient Sidonians; the mystery schools of the Pelasgians preserved the knowledge from before the shifting of the aion, and built upon the foundations left by their predecessors, the Telchines. The Greek historian Strabo provides a clue to the identity of the Telchines: Those Telchines who came from the city of lalysus were flooded by Zeus, but others, foreseeing the catastrophe, left the island and were scattered.
